I’m not a gambling man, but I bet the indictments handed up last week against Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups, Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier, and others have will be hard to beat for human drama. It may be time for The Godfather Part IV and Godfather Part V. Either one might rival Part II as a sequel. I want to focus on Chauncey Billups in these comments as a window onto the cases charged last week. On Wednesday evening I watched the Minnesota Timberwolves come from behind to edge the Trail Blazers in the teams’ season opener.

I’m pretty sure the participation in a mob organized rigged poker tables charge against Billups is supported with substantial and credible evidence.

Just wondering - if they can rig the tables to win, why not also to LOSE? As an 'under-the-table' laundered payoff? Lookin' in Lucky Pritzker's' direction.

The Democrats appear to be a never-ending source of pitiable entertainment these days. Last week, it was the pathetic “No Kings” (what some mischievous wag called “No Brains”) rallies across the country. Those 2,700 anti-Trump therapy sessions for aging, anencephalic boomers were funded to the tune of $294 million by such public-spirited individuals and entities as Arabella Advisors, the Tides Foundation, George Soros, and Warren Buffett. Such streams of cash funneled millions through dozens of left-leaning entities, including the American Civil Liberties Union, the National LGBTQ Task Force, the Sierra Club Foundation, the Democracy Forward Foundation, and other havens for the perpetually aggrieved. It was a noisy but preposterous temper tantrum,

Even from a distance it is painful to observe the rise of Zohran Mamdani. I’d love to see a reboot of Mad Men that told the inside story à la Veep, but without the laughs. Maybe a few giggles, as the Mamd man demonstrates the limits of socialism in one city. Mamdani held a big rally in Forest Hills over the weekend. Among the Mamd Men were Senator Bernie Sanders, Squad Rep. AOC, Governor Kathy Hochul, and other state leaders. Chuck Schumer can hear footsteps. He isn’t giggling over AOC’s history lesson, but it’s okay if you do. (X) This is classic: “We must remember in times such as this,

In a random act of journalism, the New York Times did an investigative piece headlined, "Can Anyone Rescue the Trafficked Girls of L.A.’s Figueroa Street?" The gray lady did a deep dive on a corridor near the University of Southern California (USC) in South Los Angeles known as "the Blade," which is notorious for prostitution, drug dealing, and child sex trafficking. While the piece detailed the circumstances that led to the explosion of sex trafficking and crime and documented a trafficking sting involving a young victim, the journalist never bothered to answer the query in the headline.

Did you see how President Donald Trump tore down the White House and replaced it with that restaurant in Trump Tower that serves taco bowls? Tragedy. It’s also a shame how he then killed everyone involved in the destruction so they wouldn’t be able to come back later and loot all the gold at the site, like the Pharaoh he is. That’s actually the joke of it all: just how few people outraged by the construction at the White House are aware of what is actually happening. It’s mostly their fault, as they trust left-wing morons and talking heads who make their living turning nothing into mountains.

Joe Biden emerged from hiding on Sunday night to deliver a Trump-bashing speech that once again illustrates just how tone-deaf he and his handlers are with reality. As ABC News reported, 82-year-old Biden was speaking publicly for the first time since completing a round of radiation therapy for an aggressive form of prostate cancer. The former White House occupier was present to receive a lifetime achievement award for inspired leadership from the Edward M. Kennedy Institute in Boston. Biden soon turned his speech into a Trump-bashing session, implying the president was a dictator. “Since its founding, America served as a beacon

One of the lowest points in recent American history had to be when then-president of the United States, Joe Biden, and his director of the FBI, Christopher Wray, denied the existence of Antifa. Let me re-word that: not too long ago, the president of the United States and his number one law enforcement agent publicly denied the existence of a group of violent commie anarchist yobbos who exist to tear down the country. FACT-O-RAMA! Antifa was created by the German Communist Party in 1932. Why would Biden and Wray do such a thing? Because the Democratic Party is in cahoots with Antifa and shares their goal of toppling the U.S. government.

Some Antifa leaders want to switch up the domestic terrorist group's costumes to look more on-brand. They want to look a little less like ISIS and more like Hamas jihadis. They want their look to reflect the seriousness of their cause, which is to hurt people, break things, and bring about their communist revolutionary utopia by any means necessary. The word of the proposed uniform change came during an anarchist book fair in Oakland, Calif. at a panel discussion on ways to stick it to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other fed officers. Three independent reporters using hidden camera infiltrated the fair.

CBS News’ Bari Weiss isn’t wasting any time trying to retool the outlet that’s been marred by liberal bias and institutional rot. Weiss was named editor-in-chief after CBS’s parent company bought her Free Press publication, which she built from scratch following her contentious exit from The New York Times editorial writing staff. Weiss fled the paper due to its newsroom becoming a woke toxic waste dump, fraught with antisemites and anti-Israel zealots. With her helming the ship, Weiss is looking to fill her ranks with some top conservative talent to even out the roster. To most, this is an act to improve fairness. To the Left, no doubt,

Half of Americans are lonely and isolated—and artificial intelligence is stepping into the void. Sam Altman just announced that OpenAI will soon provide erotica for sexually lonely adults. Mark Zuckerberg envisions a future where solitary people enjoy AI friends. According to the Harvard Business Review, the top uses for large language models are therapy and companionship. It’s easy to see why this is happening. AI is always available, endlessly patient, and unfailingly agreeable. Millions now pour their secrets into silicon confidants, comforted by algorithms that respond with affirmation and tact. But what masquerades as friendship is, in fact, a dangerous substitute.

From the "I Voted For This" files comes the woeful story of Sami Hamdi, a Muslim political commentator from the United Kingdom who was detained over the weekend in San Francisco, California. Hamdi was in the United States to take part in a nationwide tour speaking tour being held by the Council for American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which is a red flag unto itself. He had spoken at the annual gala of CAIR Sacramento on Saturday and was on his way to speak at a CAIR Florida event on Sunday when the long arm of federal law enforcement caught up with him.

Happy Monday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) Because I lived in Southern California for so many years, I was subjected to the ongoing mental breakdown that is Kamala Harris long before most of the country was. Her entire career has been a spectacle, largely because — even on her best days — she's the hottest of messes. That can't be talked about honestly in most media outlets because because racism, or something. Harris has always had a view of her worth to the Democratic Party and the United States of America that is not at all in sync with reality. We saw that smugness come through during

The “aunt” who Zohran Mamdani said was too afraid to wear her hijab on the subways after 9/11 is actually a deceased distant cousin, he clarified Monday. The socialist mayoral front-runner made the revelation during a press conference after critics seized on his story, sharing photos on social media of an aunt of his without a hijab. “I was speaking about Zehra fuhi, my father’s cousin, who passed away a few years ago,” Mamdani told reporters. Fuhi means paternal aunt in Urdu and Hindi.

President Trump took to Truth Social Sunday night with a post that has ignited fresh speculation about his administration’s findings regarding the 2020 presidential election. “What’s worse, the NBA Players cheating at cards, and probably much else, or the Democrats cheating on Elections,” he asked. “The 2020 Presidential Election, being Rigged and Stolen, is a far bigger SCANDAL. Look what happened to our Country when a Crooked Moron became our ‘President!’ We now know everything,” Think about that last line: “We now know everything.” The line has fueled speculation that the Trump administration may have uncovered what it considers conclusive evidence tying together multiple irregularities in the 2020 election.

A college financial aid advisor allegedly strangled his girlfriend before setting fire to their upstate New York home while she and their newborn baby were inside, according to authorities and reports. Kidane Haile, 30, was indicted Thursday after a horrific scene unfolded at 8:35 a.m. on Oct. 18 when Buffalo firefighters responded to a blaze at an apartment on Norwood Avenue, the Erie County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement. Inside the home, first responders found Haile’s girlfriend, 29-year-old Kathleen “Katie” Carrig, and their 4-day-old son, Noah, unresponsive. Both the mother and son were pronounced dead on the scene, prosecutors said. Haile strangled Carrig before setting the house ablaze, prosecutors alleged.

AT&T has quietly expanded its foreign workforce while securing a multimillion-dollar federal contract intended to bolster U.S. national security infrastructure. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security awarded AT&T a 10-year, $146 million contract last year to maintain and expand emergency communications systems such as the Government Emergency Telecommunications Service and Wireless Priority Service, according to a September 2024 company press release. The award extends AT&T’s long-running partnership with DHS into next-generation 5G networks. At the same time, federal immigration data shows the telecom giant has continued to rely on foreign labor. According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) H-1B Data Hub, 388 H-1B workers were approved

In early 2024, Butler, then 17 and a student at Stillwater Public Schools, was charged with 11 counts, including rape, attempted rape, rape by instrumentation, sexual battery, forcible oral sodomy, strangulation, and domestic assault/battery by strangulation, KJRH reported.

Karine Jean-Pierre's book tour is shaping up to be an absolute train wreck, and honestly, she has no one to blame but herself. The former White House press secretary is getting destroyed for her role in one of the most brazen attempted cover-ups in presidential history: hiding Joe Biden's obvious mental and physical decline from the American people. Last week, CNN called her out, and she was clearly unprepared, and now, MSNBC of all places joined in. And once again, she did not handle it well. Let’s rewind a bit.

One aspect of the government shutdown that probably wasn’t anticipated by Chuck Schumer and other Democrats, is that it has revealed to the public just how many people receive food stamps. Years ago, when the program was still called ‘food stamps’ it was seen as something that struggling families might use temporarily to get through a hard time. Then it was re-branded as the ‘SNAP’ program and destigmatized. People were encouraged to enroll. Now there are many more people using the program, many who probably don’t even really need it. The longer the shutdown goes on, the more reports there are about this and it’s stunning to taxpayers

Kamala Harris is ready for her comeback! That’s right, the candidate who has shown no particular talent for winning national presidential elections, or even achieving the nomination of her own party via democratic means, is very likely going to run again, in 2028. She said as much in a recent interview with the BBC.

It is by now blindingly obvious to any rational observer of American politics that the Democratic Party is circling the drain. Depending on which poll you believe, its favorability rating among U.S. adults is somewhere between 23 percent (CNBC) and 34 percent (CBS). Nor is it difficult to divine what has led to this dismal state of affairs — the party has lurched so far to the left that most of its iconic leaders would be regarded as too conservative to win the Democratic presidential nomination.

One of Curtis Silwa’s staunchest supporters in the orthodox Jewish community is dropping the Republican and instead backing ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the mayoral race against front-runner Zohran Mamdani. Americans Against Antisemitism founder Dov Hikind – who formerly represented the heavily orthodox Borough Park and Midwood as a state Assemblyman from 1983 to 2018 – said he flipped because Cuomo offered a better chance at stopping Mamdani, the Democratic nominee. “I have nothing but good things to say about Curtis. But at the end of the day it’s very clear that Curtis can’t win,” Hikind told The Post of the red-beret wearing founder of the vigilante Guardian Angels.
